RAMANRXN1™ Microprobes uses
advanced and innovative technologies to provide distinct advantages
over other available instrumentation. 785-nm excitation is available as standard
to minimize fluorescence and maximize sensitivity. This compact system includes our award-winning axial transmissive
imaging spectrograph design featuring fast ƒ/1.8 optics and
our HoloPlex™ transmission grating technology. The HoloPlex™ advantage provides wide spectral coverage and high
spectral resolution simultaneously for improved qualitative and
quantitative analysis. The entire Raman spectrum is collected simultaneously
at high resolution by optically folding the scattered Raman photons
onto a large-format multichannel CCD detector. Qualitative analysis
is faster compared to traditional scanning instruments because all
the wavelengths are measured simultaneously. This unique advantage
also allows for more accurate quantitative analysis, which is especially
important for chemically changing samples (e.g., polymerizations,
curing) or species with widely separated analytical bands of interest.
Fiber optic coupling provides real experimental versatility and stability
and allows for future system upgrade. The RAMANRXN1™ Microprobe is
ideally suited for method-development work, routine troubleshooting,
or materials characterization. Simply switch fiber optic cables to
go between the microprobe and a remote sampling setup without instrument
realignment. The optional calibration accessory provides an easy-to-use
calibration and validation protocol and ensures optimal instrument
performance. This protocol provides analytical robustness during method
development and instrument documentation for regulatory purposes.
